The most elaborate known example of β‐oxidation‐like pathway recruitment in fungi is reported, involving a 10‐step oxidative chain‐shortening cascade catalyzed by five dedicated enzymes to generate the pharmacophore of mycophenolic acid (MPA)—a novel clinical immunosuppressant. Our findings illustrate how nature repurposes catabolic enzymes for complex

Chirality Makes or Breaks Chemically Driven Self‐Assembly
Chirality‐controlled reaction cycles: Reaction cycles are constructed to respond to the chirality (handedness) of an acylating agent. Left‐ and right‐handed aminoacyl phosphate esters modulate the structure, lifetime, and transformation of transient (thio)ester intermediates, enabling control over distinct chemical pathways using molecules that are ...

Diagram of the reprogramming of FA metabolism mediated by LDHC4‐induced ACAA2 activity to promote TNBC progression. LDHC4 drives TNBC progression by enhancing ACAA2‐mediated fatty acid production. The resulting accumulation of FFAs stimulates autophagy and accelerates cell cycle progression, thereby promoting tumor growth.

Thematic Review Series: Glycerolipids. Acyltransferases in bacterial glycerophospholipid synthesis*
Phospholipid biosynthesis is a vital facet of bacterial physiology that begins with the synthesis of the fatty acids by a soluble type II fatty acid synthase.

Group 14 rhodamines are one of the most widely explored fluorogenic probes with high signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR). We have boosted the SNR of group 14 rhodamines by nano‐aggregation via a novel strategy by manipulating their dynamic physical and chemical states for the first time. The ultrahigh SNR fluorescence imaging offers a fundamental understanding

A new genetically encoded amino acid is chemically converted into homocysteine (Hcy) under mild conditions to probe and to activate protein active sites. Surprisingly, Hcy can replace cysteine or serine residues in several enzymes. Its potential for a widespread use in proteins is further underlined by rendering Escherichia coli dependent on Hcy ...

Several processes are reported that enable the rapid diversification of bridged nucleoside analogues (NAs) starting from a common and readily prepared fluorohydrin. Also, several clinically relevant bridged nucleosides are now prepared in as few as three synthetic steps, creating new opportunities for examining structure‐activity relationships within ...
